Ah, that is definitely part of the problem.

With spring having sprung, as it begins to balance then stabilize into early summer, the weather is both less erratic and warmer.  Good things, for health, mood, sun, and such.  However, as things change, my body really takes a beating getting used to more sun and higher temps.  More so if I attempt to sleep during the day.  In in the low 70's (I suspect), the days are way too hot for me as configured.  Sleeping during the day can cause literal deliriums.  The fan helps, right until the outside and inside temps are too close to matter, humidity is a bit thick which results similarly in little air circulation, or things like that.  The ac might help, though maybe not.  So?  So I need to, post haste, swing my days and nights back around.  That heat is what is causing the aches and pains, the headaches, and other such problems.  Well, that is where I would lay my money.  I guess I didn't realize the world hereabouts had reached that level of warmth.  No, mid-70's just aren't that high.  Only compared to more recent weather, the jump from the 40's and 50's.  That's what will get me... especially if it happens quickly... which I think it has.

Help did arrive.  And, while I thought it would be handy, until the work began I didn't realize how much there really was to do.  The boxes in three rooms were broken down.  Packing material was either decompressed and trashed, or at least boxed when the trash can became full.  All of the box husks have been put in the back of the Xter.  Today, perhaps tomorrow, I will be getting those in to recycling and taking the trash out.  This puts me way ahead on getting into the kitchen... my next primary goal.  And I am much more keeping up on the bathroom.  Not perfectly, but rather wall.  I have torn down to where the table is mostly visible, and would be easy to clear just a bit more for a major use, such as multi-wet stone sharpening, or making a large batch of egg noodles.

The goal is to truly clear the kitchen, find a real place for everything, then maintain that as long as I can.  Very difficult solo, not much easier even with two mind you but a bit more simple if everyone has at it.  You either cycle up or you cycle down.  Anyway... each time I have been doing this, the last few times, I get closer to figuring it all out.  Huh?  I mean, each time I have cleaned, or had help cleaning, for the last three times anyway, I have found or made more static places for more things.  Of course I have purchased a few more things.  The wheat mill, for example.  *cough*  Yeah... but I am far more ahead then behind.  I simply need, perhaps, another cart... an open wire one on wheels perhaps?  That should soak up the last of my small appliances, my new big wooden cutting board, and some other things.  Ugh but organization can be a pain.  I am closer than ever... for whatever that means.

Once I have a better situational handle on things, I can begin attempting to use the outside to cook a bit more often, doing more food prep more easily inside, and otherwise tinkering with how things are done so as to keep order, or at least a bit longer.  All while eating much better.  That will always be the weak link so it will need the most resistance and the greatest effort.  Which reminds me, I am hungry.  I am about to pull one of the batches for tortillas out, see how well it thaws, then make burritos.  Hmm... just hamburger and bean this time.

I want to make enough beans to have some for ham and beans soon, then have enough left over to attempt making my first real batch of homemade refried beans.  They, to be honest, will probably not taste all that much better.  What they will do, though, is get rid of a bunch of stuff that isn't good for people or animals from the canned, store-bought, variety.  It is a very simple food that easily stretches meat, is easy enough on the digestive system, is cheap, easy, and has a fair amount of proteins and fats all by it's lonesome to mix with rice for a, if only slightly, sub par entree.  Not today, or in the next few days.  Work and sleep have handed me my *cought* ask me later.  So I really do need a day or to to recoup, if I will make it to town tomorrow if necessary for some business.

Yeah, things are working out, being figured out, and being tended as well as I can.  I will do what I can not to sleep in the day, or for long, and with whatever I can use to make that easier when I have to do so.  Bleh.

I may have a way out, if all else fails.  I may be, as I get better and feel better, even considering attempting to create a backup escape plan.  No wheels makes leaving difficult without a copilot.  Saving enough money to escape, and not be a burden, is also a trick, even with a goodly amount of time.  Difficulties abound and yet, if all else, I will cut every tie, every string, every tether and I will fly with what I can carry if it comes right down to it.  Because I can.  My friend thinks I am a clever enough boy to figure things out.  True, or not, there are some places where clever simply doesn't spend.  Bureaucracies are among those.  Law tied, absolutism, and a few other things come to mind for certain types.  The law is the law is the law and it isn't just blind, it is stupid, unless you are rich.  It has been sic'ed on me, and I don't think there is a way to shove it off.  I am... sniffing around, looking for a way in or out, I just don't expect to find a way out as he may think exists.  We'll see.  Can't stay without a drivers license, can't have a license without medical, medical is useless without medicine, can't afford medicine, the VA and the state or on either end pulling.  I don't die but I can turn into vapor and drift off.  While you are ghosts to me, in a very odd way... I am most certainly, and probably closer to the real thing, a ghost in your world.  Even if I know both of these elements better than you know whichever one it is that you are truly in.  *wink*

Later.  *poof*
